Holi, rendered not in colour but in raag. Shubha Mudgal brings the khayal and the thumri-dadra to Elsewhere — forms she has lived inside for more than four decades, and which, by her own account, still test her, still set the bar a little higher each time.

In her words: “It is a pleasure performing for Elsewhere. I am so pleased to see a dedicated group working in this sector. I am most familiar with the khayal and thumri-dadra genres. These forms continue to test, challenge and put me through my paces. I have been a student of them for over four decades now.”
